995 [[circled]]11[[/circled]] Ammonites occur often in musty siliceous skins. The striking feature of this section is the almost complete lack of brachiopods and no patches of brachiopods were seen. Had a futile day because we could not rediscover the 723w locality. It was very foggy and cold; could not locate ourselves because we could not see the topography. Nevertheless it is absolutely clear that the beds on west side of Gilliland Canyon are Word #3 and not Word #1. They are more sandy on the west side of the canyon than on the east but there is considerable sand on the east side. We saw few brachiopods on either side of the canyon. They are not as abundant as in the Word 3 farther east, i.e. in Hess Canyon. We visited 721u which is N80[[degree symbol]] E of hill 4910. 7210 is N 70[[degree symbol]] E and is north of 721u. Latter place about exhausted.
